Going by year alone you appear to get two answers. But if you assume they win at the last (max) date of a Grand Prix within that season you can calculate the difference in days... and indeed Vettel was 165 days younger than Hamilton at the time of winning.

Once again a great challenge, and once again I am miles from the podium 🏁

 

Also I will not blindly concur to the result, since my first calculations found another young driver, but here it is

Took me a while to figure our which data to actually use.
I have not looked any further into the data, to see if the cross-relation was correct (point are stored in multiple sources), but I did manage to match the provided result

I guess it depends on what the criteria really is. It could be that my logic and calculations are wrong, but if I look at age, related to days, then it is Lewis Hamilton that is the youngest driver and not Sebastian Vettel 😕Vettel or Hamilton is the youngest?Vettel or Hamilton is the youngest?

Got a bit stuck when I kept having Hamilton as youngest winner (not biased at all) until I realised that the points were cumulative throughout the season. Enjoyed the challenge, looking forward to seeing how other people completed this in a faster way!

ALL,

 

So as it turns out:

Sebastian Vettel-8546 (Days Old)

Lewis Hamilton-8723 (Days Old)

Vettel was 177 days younger than Hamilton...

-This assumes the season on 11/25 of the year as that was the season end for 2018.

This one took me a while to figure out as I kept getting Hamiliton until I used the DateTimeDiff and then used "Days" versus "Years" on the sort, while carrying both through until a Select at the end, I also had to change the VW String to an Integer...

This was an interesting Challenge, as I used Summarize twice, once to get the cumulative point totals for the years of racing and then again to get the Maximum amount of points (winner) and then used a Join to get the winner, almost  like a filter.

-Cheers!

Here's my solution, it works but I've just calculated the age based on the racer's age for the last race of the season where as I think it would be better to find the race where they win the Championship (which may not be the last race).
